Default Why a her?

I have owned 4 Corvettes and presently own 2. Never have I referred to my Vettes as "her." Considering the reputation of these cars..if anything ..they would be a "him" but most likely an "it". Why the "her or she"?

I tell everyone that I have a mistress - she loves to be rubbed with expensive nice smelling lotions, she has very expensive taste for shiny things and all she expects in return is a firm hand and direction! Plus she makes me very happy when she caresses me with her soft skin(VE Leather)!

That's not exactly true, usually the male of the species is more colorful and robust. Look at birds, big cats like lions, etc. It's done that way by nature so the male will stand out for the females as the one to snag.
